Bednar mixes up his wings all the time so it's possible they play Parise up occasionally if and when Drouin returns but I can't see Nuke only getting 3rd line minutes. Nice to have options, though.

So drouin is a upgrade on parise and cogliano but not Val. Especially in the playoffs vals forecheck is almost necessary for mack and rantanen. I wouldn't be opposed to a
Drouin mack nuke
Lehky mittelstadt rantanen.

That's if the avs make it to the next rd, they always seem to play terribly during the afternoon games and then they head back to WPG

I like your top 6 better.

So bottom six be then
Wood colton parise
Kiviranta trenin duhaime.
